The Florists' Review 



NOTKUBEB 16, 1916. 



has been insistent and regular. There 

 have been quite a number of social 

 affairs and our most prominent retailers 

 say they are well booked with future 

 orders. In addition there has been a 

 good demand for funeral work, and 

 with Thanksgiving looming ahead there 

 is every prospect of a good season. 

 Really good chrysanthemums are scarce, 

 a few fine Appleton blooms being the 

 best offering in yellows. Good bronzes 

 are hardly obtainable and pinks are 

 scarcer than whites. Dahlias and 

 gladioli are losing out, but still are 

 quite a factor in the market. 



In roses there are plenty of medium 

 grades and some fine long stock of Rus- 

 sell, Prima Donna, Milady and Ophelia. 

 Good Beauties are scarce, but better 

 things are promised shortly. Plants are 

 beginning to make a show, cyclamens 

 and begonias especially. Asparagus 

 plumosus is scarcer, but other greens 

 are about equal to the demand. Quite 

 a number of fairly good palms and 

 extra good ferns are being offered. 



Various Notes. 



The closing days of the Broadway 

 flower show, though not so crowded as 

 the earlier ones, were most interesting, 

 as new exhibits were added. But it 

 was quite apparent that a 4-day show 

 is quite long enough; things drag a 

 little at the end when a whole week 

 is given. Among the later arrivals at 

 the show was a grand exhibit of palms, 

 cycads and similar plants, finely ar- 

 ranged by William Hertrich, superin- 

 tendent at the Huntington estate. The 

 Broadway Florists sent a magnificent 

 basket of Jeanne Nonin chrysanthe- 

 mums, which was arranged with yellow 

 ribbon and the bronze foliage of the 

 Oregon grape. Wright's flower shop 

 had a charmingly arranged basket as a 

 table centerpiece and Wolfskills' & 

 Morris Goldenson exhibited an Amer- 

 ican flag made of white and red carna- 

 tions and blue cornflowers. 



The L. A. Floral Co. has been show- 

 ing fine Beauties grown outdoors in Ari- 

 zona. The flowers are good and the 

 stems about twenty-four to thirty 

 inches long. I also noted some of the 

 finest Appleton mums that have been 

 sent to the market this season. 



Among the orchids shown at Wright 's 

 Flower Shop last week were some beau- 

 tiful specimen blooms of Odontoglossum 

 grande. 



The staff at J. W. Wolters' store has 

 been busy with decorations for parties 

 and other social functions, and there is 

 a sheaf of orders on file for future 

 work. 



George Eischen, of Ocean Park, ap- 

 pears frequently at the market in 

 search of stock and says that, while 

 business is not quite as rushing as it 

 was earlier in the season, he has noth- 

 ing to complain of and is looking for 

 a big crop of eastern tourists this year. 



Good sales of baskets, ribbons and 

 all kinds of sundries and supplies are 

 reported by S. Murata & Co. Ship- 

 ments of orchids as well as the local 

 demand have also been on the up grade. 

 Consistent care in handling the better 

 grades of stock has built up a fine out- 

 of-town trade. 



Darling's Flower Shop is a boisy 

 place these days, funeral work of the 

 better class being plentiful. Several 

 good wedding orders have been on the 

 cards of late. There have been no 

 christening orders, but Wallace Boyd
